Synopsis (written by Devin Rhinehart):
\n4 kids from Montana are planning a vacation in Utah in 2004. One of them wants to know how to get to Chad\u2019s Gap (the most mythical, unobtainable, challenging, quest of all time.). So the kid decides to go to a very reasonable source for skiing information (ns) and ask the question (How do you get to Chad\u2019s Gap from the bas of Alta?). <\/p>\n

Little does the kid realize\u2026 The Mormon population in Utah has spawned very territorial fierce gangsters that will break anybody\u2019s back or kneecaps if they even mention Chad\u2019s Gap. Also Marc Frank Montoya some how managed to make it out of the inner-city of Denver to become the gang leader in Alta. He relies on his thugs at Mac Dawg Productions to assist in getting the word out to all non residents of the state that if anybody attempts to find this gap they will certainly die. <\/p>\n

But the gangs and broken kneecaps is the least of Creed\u2019s worries. The really daunting task is trying to sift through 5 pages of disparaging remarks from the new schoolers to try to find reasonable directions to the Gap. Not to mention all the death threats and mean hurtful comments that attack his confidence and make him cry every night. <\/p>\n

But Creed has a good friend to back him up (montanakid). They begin their trek from Montana to find \u201cThe Gap.\u201d Meanwhile altarider and freeski1620 keep posting in the thread about certain death and destruction to anyone who attempts to come out to Utah and hit \u201ctheir\u201d gap. Little do they know that as they post Creed is shoveling and packing out the in run to the most impossible jump known to man. It really doesn\u2019t take them that long, because shoveling snow is a past time for people from Montana and they are highly skilled.<\/p>\n

The jump is ready. The cameras are in place. ACTION!!! <\/p>\n

They hit Chad\u2019s Gap. They throw down pretty hard, but not hard enough to blow the gap up that comes much later (in fact a couple years later). They post the videos on the thread and make everyone talking trash look like losers. They become heros to most. People look up to them for their accomplishments and big testicles. <\/p>\n

The thread continues on even though the kids fade into the depths of the internet. Some say they rose above the internet and others say they ran into password problems, but whatever happened it really doesn\u2019t matter because a couple years later the Gap gets blown up.<\/p>\n

Here is where the story gets interesting. No one can confirm this, but apparently Chad\u2019s Gap was destroyed. Now the jump for sure was destroyed by ski patrol after T Hall\u2019s infamous mishap (Should have been wearing Full Tilts bud). Some say that the landing was also destroyed though. It could have been Tom Wallisch who afterbanged and blew it up, it could have been the TNT packed in Tanner\u2019s boots, Or it could have been the infamous MFM crew that poured so much salt on it that it ate the landing away and there is just a hole in the ground now that will never grow vegetation. But most people think that ski patrol used two year\u2019s worth of dynamite that should have been used to blast for Avalanches to not only blow up the landing but the entire gulch. I for one believe that Jon Olson had the entire gap moved for a super secret ski event in Europe. He hired the girl from the \u201cSolid 7\u201d thread to pop out a couple of oomp a loompas and he moved the entire gap stone by stone. <\/p>\n

How it was destroyed really is not important the thing that is important is that somehow Tony Hawk was contacted by MFM (He was crying because his gap had been destroyed). Tony came out and rebuilt the gap using Boobs. Yes, Boobs. The landing is so soft and nippley now. Ski Patrol still keeps a pretty good eye on the gulch and has posted snipers up on the ridges at the direction of MFM to shoot anybody who comes into their territory. So if you are thinking of hitting Chad\u2019s Gap in the future I would be careful. Besides\u2026<\/p>\n

you can’t just go and hit chads!!!<\/p>\n

Every year a group of New Schoolers makes their way out there on January 13th to honor the brave men who came before us. They never seem to make it to the gap though because they get all turned around trying to follow the directions from the thread. <\/p>\n

Eric Newman attempted a rodeo.\u2028Jack Elliott did a straight air.\u2028Andrew Creed did 2 straight airs and landed a 360.\u2028Pat Owen did 3 straight airs and landed a front flip.<\/p>\n

I love Skiing.<\/p>\n
